For this challenge I decided on an all white card...
A Christening card.

I cut two pieces of cream card each measuring 6 inches square.
One of the pieces I measured 3/4" down and scored right across to make a valley fold.
I glued this to the back of the first square by only the fold to make a tent card.
I cut two pieces of co-ordinating paper, one 6 7/8 square & 6 3/4 square
and distressed the edges.
I die cut a filigree oval centre piece and slotted a piece of white ribbon through the centre and fastened it to the back of the mats using double sided sticky tape.
I made a triple bow from the same ribbon and placed it on the right on top of the ribbon strip.
I die cut a Christening dress & bonnet and placed them in the middle of the oval.
I embellished with a single white paper flower and leaves below the dress.
I stamped a 'Christening Day sentiment on to a piece of white card, cut into a banner shape at one end, shaped it and placed at the top left. I put two tiny self adhesive pearls on the left side.
Finally I placed a self adhesive white pearl in the corners.

I decided on a Vintage/Shabby Chic card for this challenge.
I
covered the front of a 5x7 base card with a red paper
from my stash, then I matted and layered the front of the card with a snow scene paper also from my stash.

I rounded the corners of a vinatge style topper and matted it on to a pice of red card with the corners rounded also.
I placed two chipboard baubles on the front with a piece of red twine at the top making them 'hangable'. I die cut some ivy and placed it across the bottom of the crd and arranged a Poinsettia and tiny red flowers on top. Lastly I placed a sentiment strip across the middle. I distressed the edges of the paper and turned them up to appear torn.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I glued this to the back of the first square by only the fold to make a tent card.
I layered the front with a patterned paper....
MY WEDDING from CRAFTS & YOU.
I cut two pieces of cream card 6 and one quarter x 3 and one eighths inches.
Then layered it with two pieces of patterened paper measuring
6 and one eighth x 3" and put them on the front of the card.
I cut a strip of cream card measuring 6" x 1 and a half inches.
Then a piece of patterned paper measuring 5 and seven eighths x 1 and three eighths inches.
I cut out a 'Celebrate' die cut and placed it in the middle of the narrow strip
I shaped the narrow strip so the centre was raised up.
I stuck it to the main card with foam pads.
I die cut various flowers and leaves to decorate the front and put a sparkly gem in the centre of the large flower and tiny seed beads in the centre of the smaller ones.
I put tiny pearls in all corners of the mats.
I stuck a small resin bird in the bottom left corner of card front, stamped a sentiment on a flag banner and stuck that in the right hand corner of the card front.

About Me

I started making jewellery and cards when I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer in 2009. It helped take my mind off what might happen if the treatment didnt work. I found I enjoyed it immensely!. Jewellery making wasnt my thing, I have arthritis in my hands so picking up tiny beads was not always possible lol. So I decided on the cards. The treatment DID work and here I am 8 years later with a lot of side effects to contend with but still alive.I enjoy my card making immensely and have made a lot of friends, hopefully I will make a lot more through blogging and my Design Team work.
